0:02 Winning does not happen by accident. Let's not make your life an accident. Stay with me, and I'll tell you how. I'm Gary Kasid, and for 90:14 years, we lived in a chaotic, stress filled, visionless life. I cried out to God. He said, I want my people free.0:25 America's financial coach, Gary Kasid, shares the kingdom principles that changed his life, defeated his death, and set him free. You'll never find your0:37 destiny until you fix the money thing. Welcome to Fixing the Money Thing. I'm gonna start by asking a question. Can you tell me what was the biggest0:49 lottery total won? The biggest lottery check ever won. Biggest lottery. Can you tell me that? Well, you don't know it, dollars 2040000000.001:02 was the largest lottery ever, ever, ever in 20 22. It was won by 1 person, and it's public, so I'll mention Edwin Castro. I1:14 doubt that. That'd be something, wouldn't it? 2.02 or whatever it is, billions of dollars? Wow. You know, if you go anywhere, you're gonna see people lined up at the lottery tables and in line to1:25 buy lottery tickets. People want out of the rat race. Of course, it takes money to do that. Well, today we're gonna talk about some principles that'll help you. Now, me back up to the lottery story. You1:37 know, this particular lottery amount kinda has memories for me because in our ministry, I got employees and we're all talking, it's a 2000000000 dollars and they all we all said the same thing you probably say,1:49 someone has to win it. Right? You said, someone has to win it. If you're not in the game, you have no chance. Know, we I think 5 or 6 of us threw a dollar bill into the pot. You know, it's like just like play money. It2:00 was just see what happens. Well, of course, we didn't win. But that night, God gave me a dream, and he corrected me. He said, listen, all of my promises are already yours. They2:12 are yes and amen. Yes and amen. If by chance you ever needed 2000000000 dollars, I would get it to you. So he helped correct my thinking right there. I wasn't really2:23 trusting in the lottery, of course, but he wanted to make a point off of that. And that is, Gary, you've already got it all. It's in the kingdom. I can get it to you. You don't have to play games. You can, you2:35 know, you have it. You already have all my promises. Over 7000 promises are yes and amen. Yes and amen means so be it. You have to say so be2:47 it. Now, that is out of second Corinthians 1 20. That's where we got that scripture at. So I'm gonna talk today about beginning your year correctly. Been talking here for2:59 several weeks at the ministry about posturing your life to move forward. You know, you have to posture, meaning face the right direction. You know, how are you gonna move? You know, you have to have these things thought3:11 through. So posturing means you're ready to go. Everything's in place and you're ready to advance. So many people never even think about how to posture3:23 themselves. They take 1 day at a time, waiting for the weekend, hope to survive another week, but not you. Now, a key scripture that you should have written down somewhere after this program is3:35 Genesis chapter 13 verse 14. Now, this is when Abraham was sending Lot off. Lot and Abram, at the time Abram, we'll call him Abraham, they're having some trouble. They're3:46 so prosperous they can't, you know, maintain the same pastures. They gotta divide up. And so Lot chooses to go to the very fertile green valleys, and3:58 Abraham is standing there and God speaks to him and says this. He says, Abram, or Abraham, lift up your eyes from where you are. Look north, south,4:10 east, west. All the land that you see, I will give it to you and your offspring forever. I'll make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, they could count your offspring.4:22 Then go walk out the land, for I'm giving it to you. Now this, man, tell you that is powerful. Alright. Abraham probably was tempted to think for a4:34 second. Gosh, Lot, you took the Green Valley, man. I'm stuck up here in the hills. But God spoke to him. No, no, no. You see, his confidence wasn't in his location. His confidence4:46 was in God. And God said, Abraham, no, look up from where you're at. This is so crucial. People spend their whole life looking at where they're at, wishing they were somewhere else, but4:58 never posturing themselves to move forward. And then he says, your dependence, I mean, your your children, your grandchildren are gonna be so multiplied multiplied that it's gonna be like the dust5:09 of the earth. If you could count the dust, which you can't, you could count your offspring. But wait a minute, Abraham has no kids. How can he have an offspring? He has no kids, Sarah can't have kids.5:21 And so if he looks at where he's at, what does he see? No kids. He sees nothing. But God says, lift up your eyes. Now, looking at the land, I'm giving you the5:33 land I'm giving you descendants. Giving you descendants, and you're gonna see things happen hugely. Can't even count them. So this is5:45 a key. What are you looking at? This is a key. What are you looking at? Looking backwards? There's nothing backwards. You can't change backwards. Are you looking at what you have? Oh, and that's that's5:56 fine, but it doesn't move forward. What are you looking at? And not the circumstances, the promises. What promises are you looking at and6:08 meditating on knowing that God says it's all yes and amen. Whatever you pick to stare at, there's 7000 promises. God says to you, it is yes and6:19 amen. It's already yes. No begging required. It's already yours. What are you looking at? What promises? Do you have them written down? If I came to your house and said, hey, look, God says you can have all of this,6:31 every promise. Show me which ones you're looking at. Would you go, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have promises? Friend, so many people make that mistake.6:44 Lift up your eyes from where you're at and look at what God says about you, what he's given to you already, and then understand this. He's told Abraham,6:56 this is all yours. It's all gonna be yours. But he concluded his conversation with, now, it's all yours, but now you go and walk it7:08 out. See, you can have the promises there. You can have a paycheck there. If you don't cash it, no benefit. So, Abraham had to7:19 occupy. He had to receive it by faith, walk it out by faith. God says, what you see, I'll give you. Okay. That's that's number 1.7:31 Now, a key scripture that will help you understand how to move forward, 1 of my favorite in the whole Bible, Second Peter 1 3. You'll hear me talk about it, and talk about it,7:43 and talk about it, because within this little paragraph is the key of life's success. Let me tell you about it. It says this, verse 3, His divine power has given us7:55 You'll see on the screen there, what's the next word? Everything. Oh, we just said that, didn't we? Every promise. You have all of it. Right? You already have it. God has given you all of his promises. You have been8:07 made a son, daughter of God's household, and a citizen of his great kingdom. And every promise is already yes and amen. His divine power8:19 has given you everything, past tense. Make that note, past you already have it. I know what you're thinking. I don't see it. If I already have it, why don't I see it? Hold on. You gotta you8:31 gotta see past this now. Alright? What are you looking at? Everything we need for life and godliness, or some versions say righteousness, meaning living life as8:42 God designed it to live. What does heaven have? Does heaven have shortage? Does heaven have sickness? No. Righteousness. How to live above the earth cursed system. This system we've grown up8:54 in of poverty, sickness, and death. How do we how do we do that? Okay. We're going to We have everything we need for life and Godliness through our knowledge.9:06 Let me say right now, congratulations. You've made a choice to watch this program. You're seeking knowledge. That's that's good. The Bible says those that seek after righteousness shall be satisfied. You're on the right9:18 path. Knowledge. You see, knowledge is vital. Also, we need to understand some of the knowledge we have may be wrong. We need to allow God's Word to correct our knowledge. But we9:30 can live life God's way through our knowledge of Him, of God Himself, who called us by His glory, His power, and his goodness. Those 2 things are9:42 vital because we just mentioned all the promises are yes, right? But you will never believe a promise from someone that you don't trust. If his character's faulty, you think they're a robbery or a9:53 robber, or they're shyster. And you would never believe their promise. And this is what the enemy, this is what Satan has done towards God's character. He has tried to make you believe that God is10:05 untrustworthy, he's a liar, he kills people, he does bad things, so that you'll not believe his promises. That's why the Bible says, you will live the life God wants you to10:17 live, the life of righteousness, life, through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory, his power. Now through these 210:28 principles that God is always good and that he has power to do all things, He's given us his great and precious promise. And again, promises mean nothing if you don't believe10:40 he's good and you don't believe he can pay off on his promise. So that's vital. His very great and precious promises. So that through the promises10:53 you may participate in the divine nature, which we've already talked about his nature, his goodness towards you, and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil11:04 desires. So through these promises, you can participate in God's nature, meaning that his will towards you as expressed in his goodness and his word to you, his11:16 power. You can participate with God, his nature, his his will. You can participate. Again, his participation is required, based on his goodness11:28 and his power. You receive his character as good. His divine nature as good. And so by believing the promises, you can escape the corruption that came in the11:40 world through Adam. The lack, the sickness, the disease, the death. You can escape the corruption and live as God designed life to be lived, his righteousness11:52 through these promises. Again, you have to believe the promises because you believe his character. That's you getting it? You gotta know the character of God to believe the promises of God. And here's the part I'm gonna12:01 end our little discussion today with, then I'm gonna take you to a story where you're gonna see it actually happen in real life. Lives changed when they receive a promise. Well, so12:13 an escape into a world of righteousness, God's righteousness, his plan for your life, is done, as it says here, by participating with12:25 God. So let me explain what that means. If I gave you a check, my will towards you is good. I have the money. My my power, my ability to pay off on that is good. But nothing12:36 happens until you participate with my will towards you, meaning my good desire for you. You have to participate. How would you participate? I have this money I wanna12:48 give you. That's my will. It's my goodness towards you. How would you participate with that? My will. You would have to cash it. Right? You'd have to sign the back of it13:00 and cash it. Now you're gonna participate and wrap up and walk out my will for your life and my my desire for you to have that goodness. Are you getting this? So if you13:12 believe what God says in his promises, and you take his promise and you believe he means it, he has the power to do that, you believe he's good, then you would act on it. See, when I give you the13:24 paycheck, you automatically think, I already have the money. You act and think, oh, I have 1000 dollars. I give you 1000 dollar check. The minute I hand it to you, you don't have 1000 dollars, but you13:35 act like you do. You already start spending it in your mind because you know the promise is good. When you believe God's word and his promise is good, you act13:48 like you have it. Fear is gone. I have, not that I will have. You begin to act and talk. I already have it. I am healed. I am14:00 prospering. I am. Why? Because God said I am. Because his promises say I have that. Thus, I have that because God is good. He does not lie. I believe what He says. I said14:11 amen. He's given me His promise personally. I can receive that because I receive it and I trust I understand His goodness, His power, His glory. It's done.14:23 The mistake most people make is, I'll believe it when I see it. Guess what? If you don't cash the check, you'll never see it. You'll never see it. Even though you have the14:35 check, you can study the Bible and all the promises by memory, but until you act on them, until you participate with God on them, nothing's gonna happen. So instead of14:46 saying, you know, God will heal me someday, say, wait a minute. God has given me His promise. Healing is mine. Well, God says I'm healed, then I am14:58 healed right now. And when you say those words in agreement with God's promise and faith, that is when the check is cashed. That is when15:10 the anointing shows up. That is when things change. But if you just sit there and go, well, someday, you know, don't see it. It's not happening. That's not how it works. It's not why.15:22 See, God gave you his promise. His promise carries a picture. He gave you his promise. He doesn't lie. When you receive it as such, and he has given it to15:34 you, cash it. Step into it. Believe what he says. Speak like you have it. Act like you have it. And you know what? You're gonna see God show up as you begin to shift your thinking from like,15:46 Abram, wait a minute. What do I have here? Sarah can't even have kids. Woe is me. God said, no. No, Abram, lift up your eyes. You're looking at the wrong thing. Look, look, lift up your15:57 eyes. What have I said to you, Abraham? All this land's yours, gonna be given to you. Okay? You're gonna have so many descendants, you can't even count them. Lift up your eyes. Abraham, look up.16:09 What did God say? That's what you wanna focus on. Now, because he believes that, he begins to walk out the land. Because you believe it, you begin to walk out the16:21 land. You're gonna see amazing things happen, because God's word is true and never fails. I wanna show you a story that'll illustrate that, and we have16:33 stories like this all over Faith Life Now. I mean, all over, every thousands, stories everywhere. Why? Because God's word's true. Take a look at this story. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I'll be back in a16:45 minute.16:50 In 20 19, I was watching, I said, Lord, what do you want me to listen to? And I'm looking at this channel and he just points out17:02 fixing the money thing. I thought, Okay, sure. So I click on it and there is Gary Kasseed and it just spoke to me17:13 so deeply. And I thought, wow, that is bang on to what I was even just talking to somebody about. And so I devoured his work. I just started listening,17:25 reading his books. I, listened to him like every week and I just enjoyed everything that he was talking about. And I really17:37 related to their family. And in the meantime, this fear that, kept haunting me, just played a part in,17:49 in our family life. So we had 2 beautiful daughters at that time and, but I had miscarried 3 times. And,18:04 that's very hard. So I miscarried before my first, and I had been told just different lies. Right? They're18:15 subtle, where they just kinda say, you know, just it happened for a reason, or you maybe I kept thinking, did I carry something too heavy? So I just bleed myself. But I really didn't18:27 know the kingdom at that time. And so I had my beautiful daughter, Ella. Praise God. After that, then I miscarried 2 more18:39 times, and they were they were terrible. I ended up going in for, like, 4 units of blood, and, it was very scary. And18:51 finally, I went to a fertility clinic, and everything was fine. And I did have a peace that everything was fine, and I was going to be okay. The Lord is with me, and19:02 I didn't need any intervention. They basically, I did get pregnant for my second, and they just monitor her the whole way. Now fast forward, so we go to 20 19. I19:14 had now 2 beautiful daughters, and this is now years later. And this desire of this little boy, the Lord just kept placing this desire19:27 for a little boy, and I thought, I can't do it. I can't do it. I'm terrified. And then I picked up Drenda and Amy's book. I have all the pregnancy. And19:38 so I I read it, and I I read another book that they had recommended, and I was like, okay. This is what God says. What does God say?19:50 And I finally was just like I said to my husband, I said, I see this little boy. I I I can't get it out of my mind, but he is he's meant there's meant to be20:02 another little 1 in our family. So I ended up getting pregnant, and I was just so excited. And a short time after, that nausea, the20:14 the fear just came. And at 12 weeks, almost 12 weeks, I was sitting in service, and I heard the enemy say, do you remember what happened20:26 at 12 weeks? But then I heard, it's like Gary's voice, you know, but Holy Spirit was like, this baby is in the jurisdiction of God Almighty, and20:38 I had such peace, and I thought, no. My baby is gonna stay safe and sound till till May, you know, till the due date.20:49 And I had my husband agree with me, and I just said, this baby is gonna stay because I've been listening and I've been reading. And even in that book, it talks about so many stories21:01 of women who have overcome. And I thought, no. I'm walking this out and everything's gonna be okay. This baby is going to live and not die, and it's gonna declare the works of the21:13 Lord. My son was born in May of 20 20 when the pandemic hit. And I just thought, you know, this is very significant. He is 3, 3 and a half,21:25 and I had him at home. Just amazing. And I just don't think I would have been able to do this if I hadn't stepped out in faith. It's just powerful. And you knowing21:37 your identity, the importance of knowing your identity and that you are in his kingdom. There are only 2 kingdoms. There's just the power of21:49 darkness, but we're in the kingdom of God, and it has its own laws and principles in it. And maybe that's probably the real foundation is just knowing that there are kingdom principles. These22:00 these laws are in the kingdom of God. And so you stand on them, you're gonna see things happen. Just keep listening to this good teaching because22:12 it it just it kept renewing my mind. It was just it was like building me up. Just kept building me and building me and building me till I needed it. It was like, no. No. No. No. Like, this nope. This is what22:24 God's word says. This is what God's word says. And so just keep going back to that, like, this is what God's word says. I will see the victory if you stand and just keep22:36 going and taking your authority. The word of God works. The kingdom of God is powerful when you know those truths, and I just wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you22:48 to God, and, thank you to the Kassiz.22:56 Such a great story. Rita did a great job there towards the end of that story, kind of pulling it all together. I mean, she gets it. I don't know if you felt it, but her story was anointed. You could just tell she is23:07 excited. Her confidence in the kingdom. I mean, it just I love stories. We get them all the time. And your story is not finished. You can have the same story. The kingdom works for everyone. And so I wanna encourage you23:19 to become a student of the kingdom, you know. You'll notice in the story that she read, watched over and over as she was letting her mind be transformed by the Word of God. That's what we need to do. Become a student of23:31 the kingdom. That's why we do these broadcasts. I believe in you. I know God. I know he believes in you. Now it's your turn. Let's make this year the best year you've ever had. I wanna pray for you. Father, in the name23:42 of Jesus, we thank you for our partners. Thank you that your anointing, your blessing is on them. They're they're amazed. Just they're walking in just the glory. And Father, we thank you that23:54 you just just are so awesome. And so I thank you. We walk in that truth that you are good and that you have the power to do what you say. We bind fear. We speak against fear because fear is lack. Fear is24:06 an enemy to what you say is right. We reject it, and I thank you they walk free as they embrace what your word says and not just what their circumstances say, and they will see brand new24:17 circumstances just like Abraham. Remember, 1 experience with the kingdom of God changes your life forever. Believe what God says, do what God says, and you'll see it. I'll see you next24:29 time right here on Fixing Money Thing.
